Life has demanded a break from most things other than family and work, which meant a pause to the demands in #amquerying. Meanwhile, had a neuron fire off today about how a passion of mine could easily become a 10+ volume series. 🤷 #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

Got to nerd out at the Getty Getty Villa today for the first time in years. My favorite place in LA #Antiquity #GettyVilla #SPQR

As an Emergency Physician, how am I supposed to answer the question: “How is work going?” The ER is… Joyful Stressful Dangerous Humorous Chaotic Fulfilling But if the bar is that I didn’t see a sexual assault victim this week, work is never “good” #MedTwitter #ER #Emergency

Just finished Hugh Howey novel #beacon23. Great piece of writing. Blown away by the internalization. If you don’t like SciFi, see if this changes your mind. Well done.

Quick Shot: Terminology for Writers Nauseated = feel like vomiting Nauseous = make other’s nauseated Unless you MEAN it, STOP saying “I’m NAUSEOUS,” which really means “stay away, I have a toxic personality and will be a burden on your soul.” #writing #amwriting #AuthorLife
